NEPAL TIBET HIGHLIGHT TREK |
|
The first days in the
Himalayan kingdom of Nepal will leave
you with a lot of impressions :
Magnificent royal palaces, Hindu
temples, shrines adorned with rich wood
carvings, Buddhist stupas with their
white cupolas and the all-seeing eyes of
Buddha as well as colorful markets and
busy bazaars. After this cultural
potpourri, you will fly to Tibet. The
first days of sightseeing will acquaint
you with the people and their culture
and allow time for your acclimatization.
Near Tsetang (3400m) you will visit a
castle from the first kings of Tibet and
have a good view across the fertile
Yarlung valley. On the way to Lhasa we
will visit the oldest monastery of
Tibet, Samye.
We have two days sightseeing in Lhasa
(3600m), the spiritual and secular
center of Tibet. You will see the Potala
palace, perched high above the city, the
holiest temple Tibet's, the Jokhang, and
the Gelugpa monastery of Drepung. Across
the vast Tibetan plateau we drive back
to Nepal and get a good glimpse of the
Himalayas and the Trans Himalaya. The
drive leads across passes of more than
5000m with dazzling views of the
snow-covered peaks and fluttering prayer
flags, we pass the turquoise-colored
Lake Yamdrok and Tibetan houses with
their flat roofs. In Shigatse and
Gyantse e visit such important
monasteries as Tashilunpo and the Kumbum,
rich in sculptures and murals. The last
leg of the trip along the Arniko Highway
brings us to Dhulikhel, known for it
good views on the central Himalayas. A
hike in its vicinity concludes our
mountain adventure. With lots of
impressions gathered on this relatively
short trip (Nepal and Tibet in just 18
days!) we fly home. |
